Today, Buzz Referrals is very excited to announce the close of our funding!  We were lucky enough to have Governor Quinn at Excelerate Labs today to make the announcement.  This was because the Illinois Invest Venture Fund is one of our investors, and Buzz Referrals is one of the first investments from this $78 million fund.  We will be making a future BIC post about the IIVF, but in short, if you are an entrepreneur in Illinois thinking about raising money, check it out now!

Thanks to Excelerate Labs, the fantastic mentors, the IIVF, the Governor, and our Buzz Referrals investors for making today possible.  We are really excited about doing something special within referral marketing and social media.   Now, back to building a business!
